Digital Rain - ASCII Waterfall in Python
closes #1687
This Python script creates a falling ASCII stream effect reminiscent of the "Matrix" digital rain. Characters cascade down the terminal screen, creating a mesmerizing waterfall-like display.

How It Works
Drop Initialization:
Each column has a "drop" position representing where the next character will appear.
Frame Generation:
For each frame, a character is printed at the current drop position, while other positions remain empty.
Drop Movement:

Screen Refresh:
The screen is redrawn by moving the cursor back to the top-left using ANSI escape codes (
\033[H).Randomized Characters:
Characters are randomly picked from a set of letters, numbers, and symbols.
Configuration
